Illustrious List,
or Otto Kubbenga
I tried to send this once but the message body did not show up. Hope it
works this time.
> We currently have a Foxview overlay that displays the 10 most recent batch
> transfers from a gas loading station. The batch transfer data is written to
> .SN0001 through .SN0010 of the sequence block that records/monitors the truck
> loading operation. What we would like to do is leave just enough space on
> the truck loading Foxview base graphic to display the contents of the current
> status string, (.SN0001), for truck loading operations. And then, by using a
> graphic scroll region object, allow the operator the ability to scroll down
> to see the historical batch loading data info stored in .SN0002 through
> .SN0010 of the sequence block. As mentioned above, we have already
> configured a Foxview overlay that has all 10 sequence text strings configured
> on a large overlay. We would like to call up that Foxview overlay within the
> scroll region on the base graphic and be able to scroll the Foxview overlay
> up and down to see different portions/message strings on that overlay without
> having to call the large overlay up to see the string of interest.
> Is anyone doing anything like that? In B0700BE Rev D Page 280 under the
> "Creating Scroll Region Object" it describes configuring the scroll region to
> call up a file. From our testing, it appears that the scroll region is only
> capable of opening a text file but the FoxDoc is not clear about that. Is it
> possible to make a scroll region on a base graphic that allows the user to
> scroll up and down in another Foxview graphic file?
> We know that we can send the string messages to a text file and call the
> text file into the scroll region, but the text file is not a global object so
> the graphic would always have to make a call to the AW that stores the text
> file. This would create the same problem that Foxboro has with the native
> sequence and PLB block source code files and is not an acceptable solution.
> I know this is a weird request but I am interested to know if this is
> possible. Any help or input is appreciated.
